Licensed Unity Teacher

Janet M. Irwin LUT

Janet Irwin joined Unity of Melbourne in March 1984. She became a Licensed Unity Teacher in February 2005 after completing her studies in June 2004.

Janet was attracted, in particular, to the teachings and writings of Charles Fillmore on metaphysics, including his studies and understanding of eastern religions and his interest and enthusiasm for science vis-a-vis spirituality.

As she had lived among people of many religious beliefs in her early adult life, although nominally brought up in the Christian tradition, Janet identified with the unifying principles taught and lived by the Unity movement.

For Janet, the Fillmore writings are as true today as ever: they have stood the test of time.
